Review of The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974) by R.john X — 29 Jan 2012
Very strange mix of traditional kung fu nonsense - each sibling is a master at one weapon. Especially odious is the under utilization of the bow and arrow, which would seem to be the perfect stake delivery method, but I digress.
A weird disjointed love story that starts out all 'tut tut liberated woman, ho ho." and ends up with a kissy kiss impaling. Strange doings, that. Then there is Peter Cushings painful looking cheek bones, quick get that man a sammich! and his even sillier hat scarf.
The Vampires themselves are incredibly dorky and for some reason need to use golden swords to terrorized the poor villagers. This is very unbecoming of a vampire. And so were the horrid rubber bats that were swung around from the end of some laundry pole.
HAMMER HORROR WINS AGAIN!!
